It is too bad for Mugi that a freak shout on her part attracted the attention of Nono Ichinose. Nono is on a mission to save her Drama Research Society, and she isn't prepared to accept shyness as excuse from on-stage performances! With a small group of close friends to encourage and educate her, Mugi will be given a chance to be more than she is now. But, can someone so terribly shy really become a stage actress in just a few short months?

The style and even colour is different between Hitohira and Glass Mask, but both titles revolve around acting (or drama) as the story. You'll see some similar personalities in the characters, and the two anime have great OP/ED tracks.

Mari Wakatake is the sole survivor of an apparent island tsunami disaster that took place five years ago; she has been raised and schooled by her grandmother from that day. But now, she has been sent off to a boarding school in order to grow and make new relationships; and it is there that she meets Senkouji Hagino, a mysterious girl who is liked by everyone – everyone except for Mari. But Mari soon discovers that Hagino is not what she seems to be, and as Mari struggles to figure out Hagino and fit in at school, an alien race is maneuvering in the shadows for their conquest of an unsuspecting Earth. Little does Hagino know that she herself holds the key to the truth of Mari's past, as well as the key to her future.

Blue Drop and Glass Mask have a different premise, but the way the characters interact (the girls) give you the same feel. Blue Drop is science fiction while Glass Mask is all drama; this recommendation is based on the two having the same kind of "drama".

Every new episode makes us more and more interested in what's going to happen in future. Both series are not about a short period of time, no. It's about years of hard work.

Both series are very similar because of a love story. InuYasha is more an advanture, but also a drama with a specific love theme. The main chacters can't understand their feelings in time or deny them till the end. Also both titles talk about friendship and self-perfection.
